History of the SHSAA Scholarship Program

SHSAA Scholarship Program was created for the hard-working student that is not at the very top of the pool. Since students in the very top of the pool have numerous scholarship other opportunities, fully qualified students with great potential but slightly lower admissions factors are normally overlooked. Therefore, SHSAA offers scholarships only to students who are NOT eligible to receive National Merit Scholarships or Oklahoma Regents Scholarships. Our policy is to award scholarships to students with an intense desire to go to college and become future professionals in the field of their choice as evidenced by their work ethic, academic record, volunteerism, and communication skills.

The SHSAA Scholarships are single award scholarships awarded to SHS seniors entering their Freshman college year. Amount of scholarships vary based on donations received.
